Best Sushi Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Leo Nakano (son of longtime sushi scion Hirofumi Nakano) is the talent behind this intimate sushi bar, offering classic nigiri and familiar sushi rolls as well as flown-in-fresh Japanese seafood, found on the chalkboard of daily specials. Here, customers might find aoyagi (surf clam, served live), kinmedai (golden eye snapper), or Hokkaido scallops. Don’t miss raijin — a crunchy, deep-fried rice patty topped with spicy tuna, avocado, jalapeño, and garlic chips — and consider Nakano’s off-the-cuff omakase." - Nikki Buchanan

Leo Nakano’s tiny Ahwatukee counter channels Edo‑style restraint: excellent rice, minimalist toppings, and periodic fresh wasabi. Named to Phoenix New Times’ Top 100, it’s a locals’ pick for refined nigiri at fair prices.

Best sushi and the freshest that I've eaten in AZ, my wife isn't a sushi eater and loved the las vegas roll and said it was the freshest she's ever had and I've taken her to a few spots before and this the place we both agrred6 on, the toro was my favorite.

The best sushi Ive had in the Phoenix area, such an evident level of care and love on each plate! The chefs took time to check in on our table and offer suggestion, made us feel very valued. Coming back for omakase!

So I normally go to another place here in Awatukee for sushi, which is very good decided to try someplace new and this place blew it away. The artistic presentation of the sushi the Customer Service, the smiling faces that very intimate ambience. Both my daughter and I loved it. Will definitely be coming back here versus the other place.

the food was delicious and so well-prepared. My only feedback was the bathroom could use more cleaning!

Popped in here by chance - delicious sushi, friendly staff, modern and yet welcoming interior! I was greeted warmly and when I asked, was recommended several types of nigiri! The fish was fresh and the ingredients full of flavor, and I loved the unique flavor combinations the owner has come up with! I came toward the end of lunch, and was the only one there.

Amazing fresh fish, amazing sushi rice. Carries a lot of special things not commonly found in Arizona, such as fresh REAL Japanese wasabi root and pickled wasabi root (though they do charge extra for it). Most ingredients are actually sourced/imported from Japan. Sea bass and aged halibut both stood out, some of the highest quality eel I've ever had, and a sleeper hit was the fried eggplant nigiri, delicious! Sushi chefs were working hard! but were still thoughtful enough to engage costumers in conversation and answered any questions we had. Overall, great atmosphere, very cozy and personable.

One of my first sushi spots when I moved here and it made me feel at home. Great sushi, fresh and delicious, kind service and an intimate vibe. One of my favorite spots in Phoenix for sushi!
